Beautiful blades!

Is there a reliable source for the ALC fabric,
or could you maybe sell enough for a couple of blades?

I've made another blade for member Magic_M. This one is my favorite composition so far, but with a straight handle. I'm really jealous of this one, i wish i could keep it Smile

I know it has been discussed on this forum, but I can't be bothered to search plus I prefer to hear it from you.

The frequency range is related to stiffness and stiffness is related to speed. Between two similar blades, the one with the higher frequency will be faster, however that may not be the case with different blades. 

I prefer to use it as a measure of softness. I like blades in the 1150-1300 Hz, that's the Korbel, Acoustic, Virtuoso range.

3 custom blades and 3 of my favorite compositions so far:

My most popular composition, this one goes to a club mate who wanted a second one. A solid All+ blade with great feeling and control.

Limba/Limba/Basalt Fibre/Kiri x3/Basalt Fibre/Limba/Limba - 80.7g - 5.75mm - 1140Hz



This is one has the same composition as my personal blade. The feeling i get with this blade is like nothing i ever tried before. Faster than the previous blade but the spin... so much spin!

Limba/Limba/ALC/WRC/ALC/Limba/Limba - 87.1g - 5.85mm - 1160Hz



This one is faster than the other two but not crazy fast, still very controllable. Great for over-the-table play.

Maple/Beech/GF/Balsa/GF/Beech/Maple - 72.1g - 6.4mm - 1335 Hz

This is actually dark Limba, but i select the pieces without streaks for the outer layers and reserve the others for the medial plies. Yes, i lightly seal most of my blades with an acrylic lacquer.

Those Limba outer plies are so gorgeous, do you finish them with a light varnish? thanks for sharing.
